The tumor is massive, size of a football and it has spread to the lungs and the adrenal glands. We were advised traditional treatment would not help and surgery was too risky. His team of oncologists in Vancouver, B.C. Canada put him on sutent in Feb. 2007. Since then, he has had 2 CT scans which have shown that the tumor has shrunk about 3/4 inch x 1/2 inch and the nodes in the lungs have gone from the size of a toonie(your silver dollar) to the size of a nickel. He has no serious side effects and has been on the sutent for almost 1 year now. His biggest difficulty is with his feet. Skin peels off in thick layers and extremely sensitive. We have found that the cream "Udderly Smooth" helps with the burning as it keeps the skin moist. However, he is able to putter on renos at home. We feel that the sutent is most definitely working for him.</p>
